ALTERNATIVE INVESTMENT FUND IN ESTONIA
Alternative Investment Funds (AIF) registered in Estonia are an excellent option for investors planning to operate in the European market. Estonia offers friendly regulations and attractive conditions for the development of such funds. Thompson&Stein provides support in registering various types of alternative funds—from venture capital funds and real estate investment funds to those based on digital assets such as cryptocurrencies and tokens. Thanks to the regulations in Estonia, AIFs can legally invest in digital assets and conduct investments in global markets in compliance with European laws.
Our team specializes in regulatory advisory, compliance support, and preparation of the documentation necessary for registering an AIF in Estonia. As one of the first law firms, we obtained permission to establish a fund investing in cryptocurrencies.
For funds investing in cryptocurrencies, we ensure full compliance with AML (Anti-Money Laundering) and KYC (Know Your Customer) regulations, which is crucial in the rapidly evolving digital asset market. We also offer post-registration support for the fund to provide long-term assistance and ongoing regulatory advice, allowing investors to conduct their investment activities safely.
Our law firm also helps in selecting the most optimal legal structure for the fund, taking into account the requirements of the MiCA (Markets in Crypto-Assets) regulations, which govern the activities of cryptocurrency funds in Europe. For investors planning to develop a fund based on digital assets, this not only guarantees compliance with local laws but also allows for operations in international markets under unified European rules. We support our clients in preparing investment strategies, registering companies, and providing ongoing legal advice, enabling investment funds in Estonia to operate safely and effectively in competitive financial markets.
